Politics coverage is a cancer on healthy democracy, reducing literal life or death crises to partisan games.

I love this game. If you stay out late enough at the arcade you can see service industry people come and flip the table *real* hard after their shifts

I think he will be back but once he gets to playing at full force it just seems like a matter of time before the hammy acts up again

Indiana Bears stadium bill advances, Pritzker still optimistic about Illinois A bill aimed at landing a Chicago Bears stadium project in Indiana advanced in that state’s legislature, but Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker remains upbeat about talks with the team.

Not to Zirin-post at this godly hour, but 360,000 Indiana residents don't have health insurance and the state legislature wants to give the Bears a billion dollars. www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/...

A PR Push on the Public Dime: Chicago Police Podcast Records Peel Back Layers of Expanded Communication Costs Podcasts are a new avenue for police to reach the communities they serve.

The “Roll Call” podcast is just part of a larger push in recent years to expand CPD’s communications operation.

Comms have vastly expanded over the past decade, and costs rose along with it.

Texas man fatally shot by federal immigration agent, records show A U.S. citizen was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer during a late-night traffic stop nearly a year ago in a Texas beach town crowded with young people celebrating spring break.

Newly released records show a U.S. citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year during a late-night traffic encounter that was not publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security.

. @wilmes.bsky.social nails it on the Indiana Bears:

"Profits only go so far before they start to defeat pride and purpose, and the Bears will be leaving so much of what matters about their franchise behind if they all care about is maximally fleecing a government"

also, something I’m genuinely interested in: what do Colts fans all over the state think about the idea of their tax dollars paying for a Bears stadium?

I don’t think the Bears are moving to Indiana, but I took the idea seriously here and think the organization is using Trump 2.0 austerity and the incoherent culture war priorities of the Indiana legislature as stadium subsidy leverage… and I think that’s really gross!

Just caught up on the hornets/pistons brawl. Beef Stew needs to be unsuspended and given a bonus. He was only going after Miles Bridges
